The IEEE 1394 code is totally Linux-specific and requires very
significant work to port to FreeBSD (which already has fwcontrol(8)
anyway). The V4L (video4linux) capture code is even more Linux-specific.
But kino is still very useful as a DV editing tool so the port is
worth it.

Since most of the patches are crude "#if 0" to disable IEEE 1394
and V4L code, so I figured it doesn't matter much; split -p ^diff
came in very handy. If the names are a real problem I can change
that.

Of course, I'm going to. Actually there are just a few real bug-fix
patches (one for X11 SHM support, two others for uninitialized
pointers...), and I need to check what's in 0.7.1 which was released...
yesterday.
